☆ Meditate Like The Buddha # 10: Liberate the Mind ☆
Lesson 8
As per your practice so far, you began by watching your breath, progressed to experiencing your feelings, and then moved on to experiencing your mind. Now, it is time to advance further and liberate the mind.
Concentrating the Mind
- Breathe in, concentrating the mind. Breathe out, concentrating the mind.
By now, you have cultivated the practice of concentration by observing your breath at the nostrils. You are ready to deepen your concentration further.
- Focus your mind with stability, avoiding all movements.
- Develop single-pointed concentration on the breath.
- Allow your concentration to become sharp and intense, with the mind fully aware of the breath, here and now.
Remain in this state for a while:
- Breathe in, concentrating the mind. Breathe out, concentrating the mind.
- Ever mindful, breathe in; mindful, breathe out.
Liberating the Mind
- Breathe in, liberating the mind. Breathe out, liberating the mind.
Free your mind from fear, anxiety, and stress. Let go of clinging and judgement. Release attachments to joy or sorrow, and allow the mind to experience equanimity.
- Fully aware, breathe in; fully aware, breathe out.
Cultivating Liberation Through Noble Qualities
You can cultivate and develop the mind for liberation by practising:
- Equanimity
- Loving Kindness
- Compassion
- Altruistic Joy
Let your mind dwell in these sublime states as you breathe:
- Breathe in, experiencing equanimity; breathe out, experiencing equanimity.
- Breathe in, feeling loving kindness for all; breathe out, feeling loving kindness for all.
- Breathe in, feeling compassion; breathe out, feeling compassion.
- Breathe in, full of altruistic joy; breathe out, full of altruistic joy.
Completing the Practice
As you reach the culmination of this step:
- Breathe in, liberating the mind; breathe out, liberating the mind.
- Ever mindful, breathe in; mindful, breathe out.
Conclude your meditation by extending loving wishes to the universe:
- May all be happy, be peaceful, be liberated.
When ready, gently open your eyes and emerge from meditation, carrying the serenity and freedom of your practice into your daily life.
